Preface

since this was for the second book in the series I
never wrote but started I need to give you the basics of what
happened in the first, first.

Sandra has a dream in her foster home one night
about a lake and a sword with to angel like boys flying and
fighting over head, twin brothers with different colored hair and
wings. Black and white.

During her dream the boy with black wings has a
sword and while he's fighting his brother with white wings he
drops the sword and it lands in front of Sandra she picks it up
and it absorbs into her skin like it was water when she looks
back up the brother with white wings is trying to kill her but
before he can reaches her she wakes up, but it wasn't a dream.
Well one thing leads to another, Andreas, the one with black
wings, brother is evil and is trying to destroy the world that
Sandra accidentally got trapped in and she has the only thing
that can save it, the sword naturally. And in the end Sandra and
Andreas end up dating and saving his world, did I mention he was
a prince by the way? that's important sorry. And Sandra wanted to
finish high school before she moved back with Andreas so she goes
back to her world in the city's while Andreas keeps watch over
her. And that's where this story starts.

Story

Sandra walked the dark streets of new york, up
ahead lights flickered in the darkening night. She knew she
shouldn't be out here, Lord knows how many times Andreas had
thrown a fit about her walking at night. Since he couldn't be
there with her all the time he had given her a pendent to call
him by encase she was in danger, clinging to the heart necklace
dangling just above her shirt line, she was prepared to use it at
any second.

Her new apartment was only a few blocks away now
from her new high-school that Andreas had made her transfer to.
His mother, may, who had stumbled into his world just like Sandra
had and married the king, Andreas's father, was now living as her
guardian in retirement until Sandra finished high school and
could move back with her to the castle. Looking along the bleak
streets as she crossed the abandoned road she wondered if that
day would ever come. Some were in the distance a man whistled the
common one some men do when they see an attractive women, picking
up her past Sandra found her self to be that attractive young
women alone in the street. Behind her a dog barked and some feet
shuffled signaling that the chase was on.

Running down a narrow alley she tipped over some
garbage letting it crash behind her hopping to slow down her
chasers, grabbing her necklace she screamed for help mentally
hopping that Andreas would get there in time. Turning into
another alley she dodged a cat and a hobos lag that lay across
her path, she could her the men panting behind her as rain
started to fall in mist at first but quickly turned into heavy
sheets. Thunder rumbled overhead giving her a flashes of light to
see her surroundings.

"some people just don't give up!" she panted
turning again, the men were still chasing her marking as them or
their leader desperate for whatever they think she has. "were are
you Andreas?" she panted turning the corner, as rain dripped from
her long brown hair she was faced with a dead end and the only
way out was a door that was locked and turning around facing the
men she was running form in the first place.

"hey pretty lady, were you gonnin?" a deep voice
behind her asked. Sandra twirled around and saw 5 young men
probably in their 20s dressed in soaked baggy clothing with
gangster written all over them. "you were runnin so fast we
thought we should help you out, you knows show you that the man
you goin home to an't as good as me," the others snickered, Grace
flinched knowing what he meant.

"I wont fight you!" she yelled at them, the rain
barely blocked out the sound of wings flapping over head as a
shadow flew above them.

"but I will," a soothing voice stated calmly, in
front of her Andreas landed a knee on the ground and a fist which
he used to push himself up slowly standing in front of the men
blocking their view from Sandra.

"Andreas,"
Sandra sighed nearly fainting at the sight of him before her, it
was a huge relief to know she was safe.

"welcome boys,"
he stated looking up water dripping from his spiked black hair,
"to your worst nightmare," on nightmare his wings flapped out to
full length showing its gleaming black feathers, what the men did
next was probably the worst thing they could passably do. They
attacked him. Pulling out his sword Andreas swing expertly
injuring the first mans lag then he did the same to the other
four swinging in graceful strokes fighting all of them off like
fly's. Only when the last man was down did Andreas turn to Grace,
the fury in his eyes melted when he looked at her terrified
figure huddling against the wall. Quickly sheathing his sword he
walked towards her, laying his hand on her cheek he looked deeply
into her eyes searching for something but Sandra didn't know
what.

"are you
alright?" he asked her quietly, shaking her head she broke into
heavy sobs as Andreas pulled her into a tight hug sheltering her
with this wings from the rain. "i'm so sorry," he whispered
kissing her head gently, "i should have been her sooner," gently,
he lifted her into his arms carrying her bridal style. Quickly he
jumped into the air flying her home to get her in a warm bed and
to have her wake up next to him in the morning only to tell him
how terrified she was, but he had already seen that in her eyes.
But right now he needed to get her warm and dry then himself in a
new white shirt and sweats, not the clothing you'd expect from
her guardian angel, but life is full of surprises. Just like the
one he was going to give her when she graduates that year, the
ring was already waiting in his bedroom at home for that
day.
